About the Thought Journal
Eliot Bernstein
I have met G-d in
a near death experience, it has asked me to bring the children together
to think about fixing the problems confronting them on so many levels. It
said that the power of all the people thinking together will possibly give
them answers to protecting the earths resources and their very own children.
This is my attempt to fulfill my promise that I would try, your thoughts are
welcome and count, please help us save the future before we run out of
resources and have to tell our children to cover their heads from the ozone
hole with money. We must rebuild and protect our earth, it is your
mother. Help us turn back the destruction, if only to gain a moment.
So drop your religions and beliefs and come together as a united species that
cares not only about each other but the whole delicate balance of life's
resources, that without one element such as ozone, we all die.
Let us begin to
be a compassionate and caring creature that would define civilized and care
about all the things your children need to grow like air, water, etc.
We all know we are out of control as a race and think we need far more than we
do, we know that this consumption ratio with no accounting of the precious
resources for life will lead us to a tragic end. Do we not care that we
may kill our children, do we not care to speak out anymore and blindly submit
to what we know is wrong for life to continue? Here is your chance to
care and make change, here your thought may become what leads to a solution to
help let all life continue. Here at the thought journal we are one
mind, working together to solve problems that are piling so fast we would be
overwhelmed to try and tackle it alone.
We are also
concocting to create a brain from this and since the human head is way to
small to challenge all the data in the world, we chose a computer to bring to
life. We must seed this brain with as much data as exists, so that when
you enter your thoughts here, the computer will begin an around the clock
search for other data that may help your thought grow. So we ask
that you share as many forms of thoughts here as possible and we will find a
way to display them, send video, images, poetry, studies and we will get them
circulated.
Please feel free
to contact me at anytime with any thoughts on building this project out, this
project needs an army of help to achieve it's goals. Thanks.

The most interesting aspects of life are emergent, so it seems to me. The
emergence of self replicating organisms from the correct pattern of lifeless
molecules, the emergence of consciousness from the large collection of neural
cells and discrete neural firings, the emergence of poetry and music from
that emergent space. Large collections of things are different, and exhibit
behaviors one would not necessarily intuit from only a knowledge of the individual
component.
Large collections
of thought may act the same, and some hold that this is what turned us back
from our insane nuclear arms race, many of us globally thinking, speaking and
acting :
"this is stupid".
Well, to me,
exploiting the planet for the benefit of a tiny fraction of its population
is stupid, and not doing something to reverse this trend is stupid. This project
allows me a small chance to contribute my share in opposing the tsunami of
advertising, rhetoric, politics and corporate hegemony designed to promote
and justify our current destructive lifestyle which enables the greed and
power lust of a few. So I am flapping my butterfly wing here, in the hope
that it rains peace somewhere else on the planet.
and coding this brain is going to be a very cool
ride.......
Peace,
Thom

I offer my full effort to better the planet by helping to conceptualize and
design interfaces which allow kids to learn more quickly and at an earlier
age. Computers will be a major force in these endeavors for they offer
interactivity thru multimedia components which are both entertaining and
educational.
